Some things on your phone are yours alone. PrivateI protects the apps you care about — WhatsApp, iMessage, Photos, anything — without making it obvious that anything is being protected. No lock screens. No warnings. No signals. When you open a protected app, PrivateI verifies your identity with Face ID. If it's you, everything loads as normal. If it's anyone else — a curious partner, a nosy colleague, a stranger — they see a convincing loading screen that never resolves. They'll assume the app is slow. They'll never know. The best privacy is the kind nobody notices. --- HOW IT WORKS - Set up takes under 2 minutes - Uses your existing Face ID — no enrollment needed - Add any app you want to protect via Shortcuts - PrivateI runs silently in the background - No data leaves your device (icloud sync optional) --- WHAT MAKES PRIVATEI DIFFERENT Most privacy apps announce themselves. A lock screen tells whoever is holding your phone exactly what you're hiding. PrivateI doesn't. The loading screen is indistinguishable from a real network delay. There's nothing to question, nothing to explain. Your privacy stays private. --- PRIVACY FIRST - Face verification handled entirely by Apple Face ID - No biometric data stored by PrivateI - No account required - No network requests (only icloud sync, if enabled) - Your face never leaves the Secure Enclave --- PRIVATEI PRO Upgrade to protect unlimited apps, per-app decoy screen and unlock additional decoy screen styles. - Free: 1 protected app, full functionality - Pro: Unlimited apps + all decoy styles + intruder selfies + intruder selfie icloud sync + unlock history - Available monthly, yearly or lifetime --- Terms of Use: https://privatei.automizm.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://privatei.automizm.com/privacy.html Questions? kamari.bedward@hotmail.com

Update Lock (Pro) The System Update decoy now holds the whole phone. While it's showing, every other app is locked too, so swiping away from the decoy gets nobody anywhere. Everything unlocks the moment you verify. Turn it on in Decoy Style. Random per App (Pro) Give each protected app its own decoy, chosen at random and kept, so every app fails in its own believable way and looks the same on every visit. Shuffle any app's pick from Protected Apps. Hide in App Switcher (Pro) While a decoy is showing, the protected app is covered in the App Switcher too, so its contents can't be seen there. Set it up per app in Protected Apps. Improvements • Your protected apps list is more robust: one damaged entry can no longer wipe the list, and you'll be told if saved apps couldn't be loaded • Smoother transitions in and out of decoy screens • Completed translations in all 10 languages, with more consistent wording in German
